DELOCK cable gender changer SMA Gold – adapter with SMA to SMA connectors, gold finish

DELOCK cable gender changer SMA Gold – adapter with SMA to SMA connectors, gold finish (DELOCK 67410) is an SMA cable gender changer designed to join two like-gender SMA connections or change connector orientation without altering the RF signal type. The adapter integrates an SMA jack with a 90° orientation suitable for through-hole mounting on circuit boards and provides a gold-plated finish on contacts and housing to reduce corrosion and maintain reliable electrical contact across the specified frequency range.

Advantages

The Delock SMA gender changer offers low insertion loss and a consistent 50 Ohm impedance for stable RF performance up to 6 GHz. Gold-plated copper contacts and housing improve conductivity and resistance to environmental degradation. A PTFE insulator and a VSWR lower than 1.5 contribute to efficient signal transmission. The connector supports more than 500 mating cycles and includes multiple solder points for secure PCB attachment.

Suitable for

• Patching or reorienting SMA antenna connections on RF equipment
• Test setups and laboratory measurements requiring gender conversion without signal adapters
• PCB integration where a right-angle SMA jack is needed for cable routing
• Repairing or extending existing SMA cable assemblies

How to use

Mount the SMA jack onto the printed circuit board using through-hole soldering on the five designated solder points, ensuring proper mechanical alignment and secure solder joints. Use the adapter to mate two SMA connectors of the same gender or to change connector orientation when routing cables; verify that both mating connectors conform to 50 Ohm systems. Check mechanical stability after installation and avoid excessive torque when connecting coaxial cables to prevent damage to the solder joints or the PCB.

Recommendations

For optimal RF performance, use the adapter within the specified frequency range (DC–6 GHz) and ensure mating connectors are clean and corrosion-free. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals and limit mechanical stress on the solder joints. When used on PCBs, conform to standard soldering practices and verify continuity and VSWR in critical measurement setups.
